The Netherlands has revealed its lineup for the European Cycling Championships. Fabio Jakobsen and Lorena Wiebes will lead the team.
European Championship features flat terrains, which give an advantage to sprinters. Lorena Wiebes will try to keep her Tour de France Femmes form in which she won two stages. Jos van Emden, Ellen van Dijk and Riejanne Markus will be participating in the time trial.
National coach Loes Gunnewijk certainly thinks Wiebes' performance in tour demonstrates her excellent form. "Lorena Wiebes is currently one of the fastest women in the peloton, during the Tour de France Femmes, she took two stage victories that way. Lorena is also the leader for the European Championship. We have a nice selection of women for whom the EC fits nicely into the competition schedule. We are going for double gold,” said Gunnewijk.
Fabio Jakobsen is another trump card of the team. He secured victory in the second stage of the Tour de France. "With this strong team, we can support Fabio well, and we want to drop him off in the best possible spot for a bunch sprint,” said Gunnewijk.
Team Netherlands for European Championship 2022 men's road race: Jos van Emden,Fabio Jakobsen, Danny van Poppel, Daan Hoole, Nils Eekhoff, Pascal Eenkhoorn, Jan Maas and Elmar Reinders.
Team Netherlands for European Championship 2022 women's road race: Lorena Wiebes, Ellen van Dijk, Riejanne Markus, Demi Vollering, Charlotte Kool, Floortje Mackaij, Jeanne Korevaar and Anouska Koster.

- So far, a good series about riders before my time, even if the text feels AI generated like so much on this site. About the rider, he seems like one of many who are active fan favorites but don’t survive in the stories of cycling, a few decades later - I didn’t really know anything about him and this was a good read, thank you!RidesHills15-11-2026
- A calm, honest documentary, a bit of hagiography but mostly not too much. When he talks about a coffee shop, it aligns with several things in his world - he might want calm, but he does (more than a little bit) have someone near him (his fiancee) who makes sure that things happen the way he expects. Many atheletes have retired only to find out just how much others were taking care of their lives for them. If they work out (I'm old, things happen), I am sure it will take a renegotiation, which is a good thing. I truly enjoyed watching it, seeing him, seeing her, seeing the whole system built around him.RidesHills15-11-2026
- You do? My mother grew up around Bleiburg (Pliberk), across the border in Austria . My grandparents lived close to the train station in Bleiburg, and I spent a lot of the 70s and 80s there. The "Jugo" train of my youth went to Dravograd or Maribor, exotic places (behind the wall) at the time. What a moment that was, the 10 days war of '91 - times sure have changed.RidesHills15-11-2026

- b.s. headline. Jonas wasn't told anything, it is just a pundit telling him what to do. the actual article is not even close to the insinuation of the headline.mij15-11-2026
- I think Roglic could have beaten Sepp. not Jonas. I was referring to Sepp.mij15-11-2026
- I'm deeply sick of this guy and his unwillingness to race seriously for more than a month or two. I'll never respect riders who do that. Seixas will be stronger than him next season, and maybe Del Toro as well. I don't even think he'll finish on the podium at any GT where Pogi, Seixas, and Del Toro are racing.megasmacky15-11-2026
- Not a chance in hell.megasmacky15-11-2026
- If you go watch some races from last season other riders that have never caught Jonas...are now catching him. Some are just riding away from him and he can't hold the wheelmd197514-11-2026
